Aircraft Wire Splicing & Repair Techniques
Credits : 0.3
About the Course:
This Aircraft Wire Splicing & Repair Techniques microcredential introduces Aircraft Electronics Technicians to fundamental wire preparation and splicing techniques used in aircraft electrical and electronic maintenance.
Through immersive VR simulations, learners will practice stripping wire insulation, securing wires using a bench vise, applying flux, soldering conductors, and creating secure electrical connections. Learners will also explore an approved heat-shrink splice connector method, including proper wire insertion, connector positioning, and controlled heat application using a heat gun.
The course emphasizes safe tool handling, proper wire preparation, soldering technique, splice quality, insulation protection, and mechanical security. Learners will develop hands-on familiarity with two common wire splicing approaches: soldered wire splicing and heat-shrink splice connector installation.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and safely handle tools used for basic wire splicing activities.
- Properly position wires in a wire stripping tool and remove insulation without damaging the conductors.
- Prepare multiple wires for splicing by exposing the appropriate conductor length.
- Secure wires correctly using a bench vise during splicing activities.
- Explain the purpose of flux during soldering.
- Apply an appropriate amount of flux to the wire connection area.
- Demonstrate the basic technique for creating a soldered wire splice.
- Recognize the characteristics of a properly soldered splice, including a smooth, shiny, and mechanically secure connection.
- Explain the purpose of heat-shrink splice connectors.
- Position wires correctly within a heat-shrink splice connector.
- Apply heat evenly using a heat gun to shrink and secure the connector.
- Recognize the importance of proper wire preparation, connection quality, insulation, and environmental protection when creating wire splices.
